Disappointed

I was expecting a lot more for $65 on a weekday at 11 am. There were several dead patches on the fairways- nothing worse than getting penalized for a beautiful drive down middle of the fairway. Then, the greens were not rolling well at all. They were aerified a couple weeks ago and pro shop said they were fine, but I’ve played better greens that were aerified day before. Only saving grace was that we were only ones on the course and pace was great. But, I played a course with better conditions for half the price day before. Staff not that friendly either. Will not return or recommend.

Surprising Awful

Fairways burnt and it really bad shape! $110 robbery! Was looking forward to playing this course for the first time. Super disappointed by the course conditions. The fairways were burnt. Tee boxes were in rough shape. They tried little patch jobs around greens with little squares of sod and did an awful job. It was actually just all-around in awful shape. I would not recommend this to anybody this summer wait until spring time when the course has a lot of time to recover.

Saturday and the snack bar wasn’t even open.

Just a complete miss all around for a layout and environment that has so much potential.

Do better!

Awesome Golf Club

The North course was in spectacular condition! Greens were running 10 to 11. Fairways and tee boxes we’ll manicured. Play was a little slower than usual because the South Course was closed due to aerification. I would recommend the courses at Lake Jovita to everyone! You won’t be disappointed

Worth every penny

A little bit pricey, but worth every penny . Great condition. Fantastic greens. Only 1 thing bothers me , the inside pro shop staff are rude every time I play there. Seems they are not tp happy about golf now customers.

Jovita south awesome like always

Played the south course on a Saturday and it was great. Course conditions are great from tee box to greens. New bunkers played nice and course was really in good condition. Cart girl was working and everyone was friendly that we had contact with.

Range could use some better grass and price would be my only complaints. Shouldn’t be hitting on sand/ dirt first thing on a Saturday when plenty of areas had grass but that’s about it. I always enjoy playing here. South course is tougher than North in my opinion but both are Great! 4.5 stars all day, must play!

Amazing like always

Played the north course and was great again. Layout is good and course conditions are great. Either course at Lake Jovita is one of the best in Florida. Don’t miss out and play these gems .
